Distribution Amount and Tax Composition

The distribution is classified as ordinary and relates to a period of one month ending 31 October 2026. It is payable in Australian dollars, and no approvals are required before the timetable begins. The ex date is 29 October 2026, the record date is 30 October 2026 and the payment date is 24 November 2026.

The distribution is unfranked: 0.0000% is franked and 100.0000% is unfranked, with an unfranked amount of AUD 0.0167 per unit and a conduit foreign income amount of AUD 0.00000000. The fund said the 1.67 cents per unit is estimated to be a combination of foreign income of 1.67 and return of capital of zero. For the purposes of section 12-395 of Schedule 1 of the Taxation Administration Act 1953 in respect of the year ending 30 June 2027, the monthly distribution includes a fund payment of 0 cents per unit.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan Details

A full distribution reinvestment plan (DRP) applies. Holders who do not indicate a preference default to not participating, which means they receive a cash payment. The last date and time for lodging election notices with the share registry is 5pm on Monday 2 November 2026.

The reinvestment price is calculated over the period from 13 November 2026 to 19 November 2026. If the volume weighted average price is less than net asset value on the day the NAV is announced, the responsible entity will determine that units are acquired on-market and priced at the VWAP over a five day trading period. If the VWAP is greater than or equal to NAV, it will determine that new units are issued at the prevailing NAV price. The form states that DRP securities will not be a new issue.

Why This Could Matter

The notice sets out what holders receive and when: an estimated 1.67 cents per unit for October 2026, with the final amount to be confirmed on 20 November 2026 ahead of payment on 24 November 2026. It also fixes the dates by which holders must be on the register and by which they must lodge a DRP election if they prefer reinvestment to cash.

Where Things Stand

KKR Credit Income Fund has estimated its October 2026 distribution at AUD 0.0167 per unit, unfranked and made up of foreign income, with the actual amount due on 20 November 2026.
